The Strongest Life Reborn

"Well, let it go. Come home with me for dinner tonight. My grandpa still misses you and wants to play more chess with you." Le Yiling smiled faintly.

"Okay." Yin Jun nodded.

"Today I came to you because of the Kirin computer." Le Yiling said, "Now that the sales in the United States and China are so hot, when will the Xiangjiang side be connected? They can't wait there."

On May 1st, the Kirin computer was officially launched in the United States.

Because of the activities of subsidizing the six-stage credit card free of charge, coupled with the aggressive advertising, Kirin Computer's previous word-of-mouth and other favorable factors, the number of reservations has increased dramatically in the second half of April.

As of April 30, the number of fully scheduled computers has exceeded 120,000, much better than expected.

As early as March, the Kirin computer's Los Angeles factory was officially mass-produced, with a monthly output of 200,000 units, so 120,000 units have no problem at all.

I originally thought that the first few days were to settle the orders that had been made. I didn't expect that one week after the official sale, with the positive feedback from users of Kirin computers, their colleagues, relatives and friends, those who hesitated, Immediately went to the store to buy a Kirin computer.

Kirin Computer did not learn from other computer companies, using various models to distinguish between high and low.

The first time they made a computer, they directly made the computer a middle-to-upper grade, and only sold such a model, so users do not have to worry about the experience of using it different from others after they buy it.

Such a strategy has proved very useful.

In the second week of May, Kirin Computer's North American sales exceeded 20,000 units, plus the 10,000 units in the first week, and the scheduled 120,000 units, a total of 140,000 units.

Don't think this number is too small.

In fact, in this early stage of computer development in 1984, even the total monthly shipment of ibm will not exceed 300,000 units. Kirin Computer, a new brand, can achieve sales of almost 167,700,000 in the first month. , Already in the top three in the world!

Moreover, the initial annual production capacity of Kirin Computer ’s factory in Los Angeles was set at 400,000 units. Now it looks like the situation is so good. Baker Lee hastened to adjust the plan in the past few days and increased the purchase of spare parts. Increase the annual production capacity to 500,000 units.

At first glance, 140,000 units were sold in two weeks, and the production of 500,000 units was only scheduled a year. I really don't know the size. I wasted such a good opportunity.

But for Baker Lee, this is a very safe approach.

Because the previous 140,000 Kirin computers were all accumulated through advertising and previous word-of-mouth, and then there was a large amount of credit card fee subsidies, so sales suddenly broke out.

Most of the people here are already ready to buy computers, but they are only attracted by Kirin computers from other brands.

So this is not to open up the market, in fact, just put the vegetables in other people's bowls into their own bowls.

The entire market is still only that large.

In the next two weeks, a total of 30,000 units were sold, which was the norm.

If we can break through under this trend, this is the achievement of expanding the market.

According to the prediction of Kirin Computer, if it is sold according to this trend, with the continuous popularity of word-of-mouth and computers, the annual sales volume may reach about 600,000 units, but it is not impossible to reach 500,000 units.

Therefore, for the sake of stability, Baker Lee decided to expand the production capacity to only 500,000 units.

Even if the output of the US is not enough, do n’t forget that on the Xiangjiang side, the boss has a computer factory. The annual production capacity there is 800,000 units, and it can be expanded to 1 million units at any time.

This is to fill the gap in North American sales.

Before Baker Lee thought Yin Jun was thinking a little too beautifully, but now I know why they are the boss!

Judging the entire market, Yin Jun is absolutely phenomenal!

This is genius!

This idea of ​​Baker Lee has communicated with Le Yiling.

Seeing that sales in North America are so good, Le Yiling is naturally more concerned about market development in Asia.

Compared with the more than 300 million people in North America, the population of Asia, even if it is not included in China's mainland and India, there are almost 1 billion people.

The population of the developed regions is at least 300 million.

The spending power of these people is also not weak.

Not to mention that in the second half of this year, European market advertising will be invested. The population of developed countries in Western Europe is about 1 billion. This part of the computer sales is also responsible for the Xiangjiang Kirin computer factory.

If it is calculated according to the sales volume in North America, whether the annual production capacity of 1 million units can meet the demand is a problem.

Regardless of the subsequent sales situation, start production now, and always have more computer reserves in order to cope with more sales and shipments.

Yin Yiling also said this in his mind.

According to the scale of the industry in the future, before the rapid development of smart phones in 2012, the sales of 1 billion desktop computers a year is nothing exaggerated.

But since the rise of smartphones and tablets, not only desktop computers but even laptops have been sold off like cliffs.

After 2018, 500 million units can be sold in a year, and all of them can secretly laugh.

It's just that this is also close to 30 years later. Now desktop computers are not even hot, and they are budding development.

Therefore, Yin Jun only predicted that within two years, the output of Kirin computers of about 1.5 million units a year would be enough to meet the demand.

After two years, desktop computer sales will continue to skyrocket until it reaches its peak of 1 billion units a year.

Then there are laptop computers. Although they are not as practical as desktop computers, the annual sales of 500 million units are also expected.

Therefore, Yin Juncai recruited 20,000 people at the Kirin computer factory in Xiangjiang.

With so many skilled workers, even if the degree of intelligence of the production line increases in the future, the manpower required for each production line continues to decrease, and it can maintain a strong production capacity.

Twenty years later, after the computer markets in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are saturated, there is a huge emerging market like China.

By that time, three to five thousand computers will be sold, and one or two hundred million units will be sold each year, just like playing.

For now, the scale of 20,000 people is actually a waste.

Baker Lee visited Xiangjiang and saw the assembly process of Xiangjiang workers.

He had to sigh that in this labor-intensive industry, the Chinese are really very powerful, basically one person can be worth two Americans.

Moreover, these workers in Xiangjiang have very different attitudes from those of American workers in dealing with overtime.

Xiangjiang workers are willing to work overtime, and they may be able to do a little more work, as long as the required overtime pay is the same as normal work.

And when working overtime, they are as serious and never slack.

Compared with them, the group of workers in the United States is just like the old man. It costs money and there is no way to improve production efficiency.

So he also understands why Yin Jun will put the production base for the European market in Xiangjiang instead of directly in the United States-no matter which boss will choose this way!

"I'm not in a hurry now." After thinking for a while, Yin Jun shook his head. "Now their proficiency can't meet the requirements of mass production, and the production line needs to continue to be debugged. The yield of this product is low, it is better not to do it."

"But if mass production starts in June, will it be too late?" Le Yiling said, "The investment in advertising in Europe should start in June!"

"This is not anxious." Yin Jun smiled. "The Europeans have good patience. Before they ordered an IBM computer, they could wait two months before they arrived. We will be able to wait for two weeks at our side. Mass production started, according to the annual production capacity of 1 million units, there is no time to come. "

"If the sales in Europe are as explosive as in the US, isn't it in a hurry?" Le Yiling said.

"I'm afraid it's not that exaggerated." The teenager shook his head. "The golden age of industry and industry in Europe has passed, and now they have gradually begun to enter an aging society. The new technology of smart computers will take a lot of time ... This can be seen from the sales of computers such as IBM, Apple and HP in the past few years. "

Le Yiling was speechless.

Of course she has read these data, so she knows that Yin Jun is good.

The population of the developed countries in Europe is more than three times that of the United States, but in the two years of 82 and 83, the number of computers installed was only less than one third of that of the United States. It is a gap of 10 times.

It's not that Europeans don't like computers, but they want them to accept a new thing, and it will take time.

In particular, the current smart computer has few functions, and there are not many programs available.

However, it will not be too long since the popularity and explosion of computers in Europe.

The emergence of Microsoft's Windows system has greatly stimulated various software companies.

Now every day new software, games and programs are made ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Although the pros and cons are different, under the survival of the fittest, a lot of excellent software will appear every year.

Once there are more things that can be used and played, then the computer can be popularized and become popular.

Then there is the Internet.

The combination of software and network, these two magic weapons, is the most important factor that makes computers popularize every household.

Once the network connects the world, then everyone needs the carrier of the computer to connect the world.

This is a great trend, and no one can resist it.

Therefore, Yin Jun is not only vigorously promoting the development of Microsoft's Windows system, but also allowing Kirin Networks and Kirin Lab to vigorously develop new technologies such as network fiber transmission and wireless transmission.

For this reason, teenagers have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in skyrocketing R & D expenses every year.

Many people think that Yin Jun is crazy.

But only Yin Jun himself knew that this investment at present is nothing compared to the return in the future.

Once this industry develops, the whole world is closely linked together, and the various effects produced by it are not enough to describe the scale of one trillion US dollars. At least they are super huge industrial chain groups of tens of trillions of dollars! !

Yin Jun likes the entertainment industry, but it does not mean that he will let go of such a huge cake.

In the previous life, Hua Guo seized the fourth industrial leather life, so it achieved the overtaking in the corner, and it was possible to pull the wrench with the US.

At that time, Hua Guo started very late. Basically, it was only after 2012 that it used fiber and network technology to slowly exert its strength.

If Yin Jun is now in the starting stage of the computer industry, he will first lay the groundwork to lead the development of others, then the development of China in the smart industry will definitely be more brilliant than the previous life!
